First Antibiotics...

Well...Miss Keatin is on her first round of antibiotics. She had redeveloped her cough/runny nose over the weekend. On Monday, I had an early dismissal from school because of the weather and when Keatin woke up from her afternoon nap, she had a 102 degree fever. SO...we went to the pediatrician's office that night...had to get her oxygen levels checked and her blood drawn...but all that came back ok and she is being treated for an ear infection in her right ear. (Oh - and she weighs 15 1/2 pounds now!) Needless to say, it has been a tiring last couple days... I stayed home yesterday morning with her, and Josh came home in the afternoon. She has had moments of being her normal self...and moments where she just cries. Poor thing...I now know what all those parents mean when they say they would do anything to take away their child's pain...I certainly felt helpless. I am hoping as the next couple days go by, she just continues to feel more like herself. She has kept Josh and I awake the last 2 nights coughing...luckily, it doesn't seem to wake her up too much. We are beat though!

I have a late start for school again this morning, but of course they don't call to tell me until I am already up in the shower...oh well. SO...I thought I would update the blog quick before Keatin is up. I have included some recent pictures below...pre-sickness. :) Have a great week!


This is Keatin wearing the t-shirt Grandpa Barber gave her on the day she was born...

She has discovered a love for the TV remote and our cell phones. Here she is messing with the remote...what a "devil" look!

Practicing standing up!

Practicing sitting up...we are not quite there yet... :)

Keatin and Troy Wilshusen...Megan and Troy came for a visit on Sunday afternoon. It was fun to see Troy and see how the babies are alike/different!
